Our program is one of only a few in the country that focuses exclusively on writing for children and young adults and earns you a master’s degree in children’s literature in just two years! We offer breadth and depth in all writing categories—picture book, early reader, middle-grade and young-adult fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. You will be immersed in the process and craft of writing and supported by a community of accomplished authors, mentors, and colleagues. And you will graduate prepared to navigate the literary marketplace.
Join our award-winning faculty as they share their thoughts on current books, writing principles they follow, tips on getting books published, ways of connecting with young readers, exercises to generate new material and more.
Current and prospective students, alumni, the greater Hamline community... all are welcome to follow along or, even better, to join in on the conversation!
